Math Problem Statement
Triangle angle sum theorem
The measure of angle 1 in a triangle with angles 80° and 18°.
Solution
To solve for the measure of angle in the triangle, we can use the Triangle Angle Sum Theorem, which states that the sum of the angles in any triangle is always .
We are given:
- One angle is ,
- Another angle is .
Let represent the unknown angle (angle 1). Using the Triangle Angle Sum Theorem, we have:
Now, solve for :
Therefore, the measure of angle 1 is .
